Musikantenstadl is a live television entertainment program broadcast in the German language throughout Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. It features Austrian, Swiss, and German popular folk music (Schlager, Volkstümliche Musik), international pop and folk music as well as interviews and comedy. As a production of Eurovision, is co-produced by the Österreichischer Rundfunk, Bayerischer Rundfunk and Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen.[1] Aside from the live television broadcasts it also tours in Austria and Germany as live concerts. It is currently hosted by Andy Borg and its location of broadcast varies between towns in different regions in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

The show could be compared to being a much larger German version of the United Kingdom 1970's entertainment show The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club. However Musikantenstadl consists of a large barn Set construction and not a Social Club. The show also has similarities to Noel's House Party.

In 2015, the show was re-branded as the Stadlshow with new stage setting and presenter team, Francine Jordi and Alexander Mazza. Musikantenstadl and Stadlshow are both used conjunctively when referring to the program.
